Sugarland "Enjoy The Ride"

2006 | Genre: Country | Songwriter

Sugarland comes back with another set of fresh, contemporary country music songs that should only increase their ever-growing fanbase. They have emerged as one of the hottest contemporary music acts in the country. With a solid debut album, and now a terrific sophomore release, coupled with very positive reviews of their live performances, it seems the sky is the limit for Sugarland. The duo, consisting of Atlanta natives Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, are indeed "enjoying the ride" hence the title of their second album.

Sugarland began as a trio, but Kristen Hall left the band to focus more on songwriting, and less on the grueling road tour life. The now duo has continued seemingly just as strong as before, and the songwriting doesn't seem to have suffered.

The formula hasn't changed much on Sugarland's new album, but that's probably how their fans want it. Why fix something that isn't broken? So expect to find more straightforward, radio-friendly country tunes, about small towns and rebellion and working towards the American dream. Most of the songs have a positive bent, but in a sincere manner that no doubt connects with the soul of their audience. Songs like Settlin' embody Sugarland's approach to songwriting perfectly, with its infectious chorus, "I ain't settlin'/For just getting by/I've had enough so-so/For the rest of my life" with the chorus wrapping up with "I ain't settlin' for anything less than everything." After kicking off Enjoy the Ride with this heartfelt personal anthem, the mood turns more nostalgic with County Line and Want To.

One of my favorite songs on the album is Everyday America. It has the kind of blue-collar, small town spirit that the Sugarland fanbase should eagerly embrace. Jennifer Nettles warmly growls out the chorus, "Oh everybody's dreamin' big/Oh, everybody's just gettin' by/That's how it goes in everyday America/A little town and a great big life." On the song, "Happy Ending" they touch on a more universal theme: "From the beginning/We're all looking for a happy ending."

There's also songs to just kick your heels up to. "Mean Girls" is a fun ditty that both teenagers and their parents will be able to relate to.

"Stay", my favorite track on Enjoy the Ride, was penned by Nettles only, while most of the other tracks were a collaboration between Nettles, Bush, and other talented songwriters, including former American Idol contestant Vanessa Olivarez. Stay takes the unusual approach of writing from the perspective of the "other woman" and the twist at the end makes for a great personal anthem.

While the songwriting is solid, it's the amazing voice of Jennifer Nettles that really sets Sugarland apart from other contemporary country music acts. She is equally comfortable in belting out a chorus or softly singing with a magnificent vulnerability.
